 T^e—5.10.4.30. $. Adult ... 166 



5.10.4.31. $. Old ... 161 



5.10.4.32. $. Adult ... 166 

 Hab.— Bund-i-Khel, S.-W. Persia. 



Type. — B. M. No. 5"10'4"30. An adult male. Collected by Mr. Woosuam on 

 the 6th March 1905, and presented to the museum by Col. Bailward. 

 (34) Tatera Bailwardi monticola, subsp. n. 

 5.10.4.33. Mala Mir, S. W. Persia {Col. Bailward). Alt. 3,300'. 

 The same size as Baihoardi, of which it is apparently a high-level form. 

 Ground-colour much less rufous than in that species giving it a soberer 

 general colouration. The skull very broad and much stouter and the bullae 

 markedly larger. The following are the dimensions : — 



Head and body 164 mm. ; tail 177 ; hind foot 39 ; ear 28. 

 Skull : Greatest length 46 ; basilar length 35 ; zygomatic breadth 25 ; 

 length of upper molar series 6'5 ; bullae 12"5. 

 Hab.— Mala Mir, S.-W. Persia. 



Type. — B. M. No. 5.10.4.33. An old female. Collected by Mr. Woosnam on 

 the 12th April 1905, and presented to the museum by Col. Bailward. 

 (35) Tatera, ceylonica, sp. n. 

 52.5.9.31. $. Ceylon {Kelaart). 



In colouration ceylonica differs but little or not at all from cuvieri, — i.e., 

 from the specimens which I have identified as that species. It is dark cinna- 

 mon-brown along the centre of the back (probably due to the black tips of the 

 hairs in that area), pallid along the sides. Above the eyes, and behind them 

 to the ears and the cheeks, dull white. The following are dimensions : — 

 Head and body 160 mm. ; tail 150 ; hind foot 41 ; ear 20. 

 Skull : Greatest length 44 ; basilar length 33 ; zygomatic breadth 22 ; 

 length of the upper molar series 6 ; bullae 11. 

 Hab. — Ceylon. 



Type. — B. M. No. 52.5.9.31. An adult male. Presented to the museum by 

 Dr. Kelaart. 



Notwithstanding its colour-resemblance it is easily distinguishable from 

 cuvieri by its extremely short tail and much shorter hind feet. The skull 

 is about as in cuvieri, but the upper molars are finer and narrower than in 

 that of any other Asiatic form.
